... According to the most popular cosmological paradigm, the greater part of the galaxy mass is accumulated in the dark matter halo. ... The polar ring galaxies (PRGs) reveal external rings or disks of gas, dust and stars rotating in a plane roughly perpendicular to the disk of the central galaxy. ... The shape of the dark halo in the model was chosen so as to achieve the best fit to the observed rotation of both galaxies themselves and their polar rings. ... The SPRC-7 galaxy. ...

... We have mapped the 21-cm absorption in the nuclear region of the starburst galaxy NGC 1808 using the VLA AnB-hybrid array with a resolution of approx. 5.2" (= 275 pc). ... The velocity center of the absorption changes from about +120 km/s relative to the systemic velocity in the NW to -145 km/s in the SE, following the rotation pattern in the outer regions of the galaxy. ... The gravitational mass required to explain this fast rotation in the center of NGC 1808 is a few times 10^9 solar masses. ...

Velocity profiles of galaxies with claimed black holes - II. f(E,L_z) models for M32 . ... The galaxy M32 has been claimed to contain a massive central black hole. ... We construct axisymmetric dynamical models with distribution functions of the form f(E,L_z) for these data. ... To fit the M32 data without a black hole requires a radially anisotropic velocity distribution in the central region and a tangentially anisotropic velocity distribution in the outer region. ...

... We measured these galaxies individually, and they are distinguished in our list by the suffixes a, b, c,... in order of increasing J2000 right ascension. ... The first column contains the UGC catalog number, to which we have added lower-case suffixes a, b, c,\dots in order of increasing J2000 right ascension to distinguish individual galaxies in groups. ... The third column lists the degrees, arcminutes, and arcseconds of J2000 declination plus the rms uncertainty in arcseconds. ...

... Interacting galaxies . ... Catalogues . ... We define a volume limited sample of over 14,000 early-type galaxies (ETGs) selected from data release six of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. The density of environment of each galaxy is robustly measured. By comparing narrow band spectral line indices with recent models of simple stellar populations (SSPs) we investigate trends in the star formation history as a function of galaxy mass (velocity dispersion), density of environment and galactic radius. ...

... ROTATION CURVE: When studying spiral galaxies it is invariably found that the stellar rotational velocity in the disk remains constant, or "flat", with increasing distance away from the galactic center. ... By the same argument the flat galactic rotation curves seem to suggest that each galaxy is surrounded by significant amounts of dark matter. ... What is the maximum rotation velocity and the total amount of mass (including dark matter) in the galaxy as a function of radius. ...
